2026-03-13sched_ext: Use schedule_deferred_locked() in schedule_dsq_reenq()Tejun Heo1-9/+15
schedule_dsq_reenq() always uses schedule_deferred() which falls back to irq_work. However, callers like schedule_reenq_local() already hold the target rq lock, and scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() may hold it via the ops callback. Add a locked_rq parameter so schedule_dsq_reenq() can use schedule_deferred_locked() when the target rq is already held. The locked variant can use cheaper paths (balance callbacks, wakeup hooks) instead of always bouncing through irq_work.

2026-03-13sched_ext: Add SCX_OPS_ALWAYS_ENQ_IMMED ops flagTejun Heo2-14/+26
SCX_ENQ_IMMED makes enqueue to local DSQs succeed only if the task can start running immediately. Otherwise, the task is re-enqueued through ops.enqueue(). This provides tighter control but requires specifying the flag on every insertion. Add SCX_OPS_ALWAYS_ENQ_IMMED ops flag. When set, SCX_ENQ_IMMED is automatically applied to all local DSQ enqueues including through scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local(). scx_qmap is updated with -I option to test the feature and -F option for IMMED stress testing which forces every Nth enqueue to a busy local DSQ. v2: - Cover scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() path (now has enq_flags via ___v2). - scx_qmap: Remove sched_switch and cpu_release handlers (superseded by kernel-side wakeup_preempt_scx()).

2026-03-13sched_ext: Add enq_flags to scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local()Tejun Heo1-3/+18
scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() moves a task from a non-local DSQ to the current CPU's local DSQ. This is an indirect way of dispatching to a local DSQ and should support enq_flags like direct dispatches do - e.g. SCX_ENQ_HEAD for head-of-queue insertion and SCX_ENQ_IMMED for immediate execution guarantees. Add scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local___v2() with an enq_flags parameter. The original becomes a v1 compat wrapper passing 0. The compat macro is updated to a three-level chain: v2 (7.1+) -> v1 (current) -> scx_bpf_consume (pre-rename). All in-tree BPF schedulers are updated to pass 0.

2026-03-13sched_ext: Implement SCX_ENQ_IMMEDTejun Heo3-19/+301
Add SCX_ENQ_IMMED enqueue flag for local DSQ insertions. Once a task is dispatched with IMMED, it either gets on the CPU immediately and stays on it, or gets reenqueued back to the BPF scheduler. It will never linger on a local DSQ behind other tasks or on a CPU taken by a higher-priority class. rq_is_open() uses rq->next_class to determine whether the rq is available, and wakeup_preempt_scx() triggers reenqueue when a higher-priority class task arrives. These capture all higher class preemptions. Combined with reenqueue points in the dispatch path, all cases where an IMMED task would not execute immediately are covered. SCX_TASK_IMMED persists in p->scx.flags until the next fresh enqueue, so the guarantee survives SAVE/RESTORE cycles. If preempted while running, put_prev_task_scx() reenqueues through ops.enqueue() with SCX_TASK_REENQ_PREEMPTED instead of silently placing the task back on the local DSQ. This enables tighter scheduling latency control by preventing tasks from piling up on local DSQs. It also enables opportunistic CPU sharing across sub-schedulers - without this, a sub-scheduler can stuff the local DSQ of a shared CPU, making it difficult for others to use. v2: - Rewrite is_curr_done() as rq_is_open() using rq->next_class and implement wakeup_preempt_scx() to achieve complete coverage of all cases where IMMED tasks could get stranded. - Track IMMED persistently in p->scx.flags and reenqueue preempted-while-running tasks through ops.enqueue(). - Bound deferred reenq cycles (SCX_REENQ_LOCAL_MAX_REPEAT). - Misc renames, documentation.

2026-03-13workqueue: fix parse_affn_scope() prefix matching bugBreno Leitao1-8/+2
parse_affn_scope() uses strncasecmp() with the length of the candidate name, which means it only checks if the input *starts with* a known scope name. Given that the upcoming diff will create "cache_shard" affinity scope, writing "cache_shard" to a workqueue's affinity_scope sysfs attribute always matches "cache" first, making it impossible to select "cache_shard" via sysfs, so, this fix enable it to distinguish "cache" and "cache_shard" Fix by replacing the hand-rolled prefix matching loop with sysfs_match_string(), which uses sysfs_streq() for exact matching (modulo trailing newlines). Also add the missing const qualifier to the wq_affn_names[] array declaration. Note that sysfs_streq() is case-sensitive, unlike the previous strncasecmp() approach. This is intentional and consistent with how other sysfs attributes handle string matching in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2026-03-12namespace: allow creating empty mount namespacesChristian Brauner2-7/+31
Add support for creating a mount namespace that contains only a copy of the root mount from the caller's mount namespace, with none of the child mounts. This is useful for containers and sandboxes that want to start with a minimal mount table and populate it from scratch rather than inheriting and then tearing down the full mount tree. Two new flags are introduced: - CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS for clone3(), using the 64-bit flag space. - UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS for unshare(), reusing the CLONE_PARENT_SETTID bit which has no meaning for unshare. Both flags imply CLONE_NEWNS. For the unshare path, UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS is converted to CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS in unshare_nsproxy_namespaces() before it reaches copy_mnt_ns(), so the mount namespace code only needs to handle a single flag. In copy_mnt_ns(), when CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS is set, clone_mnt() is used instead of copy_tree() to clone only the root mount. The caller's root and working directory are both reset to the root dentry of the new mount. The cleanup variables are changed from vfsmount pointers with __free(mntput) to struct path with __free(path_put) because the empty mount namespace path needs to release both mount and dentry references when replacing the caller's root and pwd. In the normal (non-empty) path only the mount component is set, and dput(NULL) is a no-op so path_put remains correct there as well.

Using a non-continuous aka untrusted clocksource as a watchdog for another untrusted clocksource is equivalent to putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. That's especially true with the jiffies clocksource which depends on interrupt delivery based on a periodic timer. Neither the frequency of that timer is trustworthy nor the kernel's ability to react on it in a timely manner and rearm it if it is not self rearming. Just don't bother to deal with this.

Oliver reported that x86_pmu_del() ended up doing an out-of-bound memory access when group_sched_in() fails and needs to roll back. This *should* be handled by the transaction callbacks, but he found that when the group leader is a software event, the transaction handlers of the wrong PMU are used. Despite the move_group case in perf_event_open() and group_sched_in() using pmu_ctx->pmu. Turns out, inherit uses event->pmu to clone the events, effectively undoing the move_group case for all inherited contexts. Fix this by also making inherit use pmu_ctx->pmu, ensuring all inherited counters end up in the same pmu context.

2026-03-11pidfd: add CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILLChristian Brauner1-3/+26
Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL that ties a child's lifetime to the pidfd returned from clone3(). When the last reference to the struct file created by clone3() is closed the kernel sends SIGKILL to the child. A pidfd obtained via pidfd_open() for the same process does not keep the child alive and does not trigger autokill - only the specific struct file from clone3() has this property. This is useful for container runtimes, service managers, and sandboxed subprocess execution - any scenario where the child must die if the parent crashes or abandons the pidfd. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD (the whole point is tying lifetime to the pidfd file) and CLONE_AUTOREAP (a killed child with no one to reap it would become a zombie). CLONE_THREAD is rejected because autokill targets a process not a thread. The clone3 pidfd is identified by the PIDFD_AUTOKILL file flag set on the struct file at clone3() time. The pidfs .release handler checks this flag and sends SIGKILL via do_send_sig_info(SIGKILL, SEND_SIG_PRIV, ...) only when it is set. Files from pidfd_open() or open_by_handle_at() are distinct struct files that do not carry this flag. dup()/fork() share the same struct file so they extend the child's lifetime until the last reference drops. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL uses a privilege model based on CLONE_NNP: without CLONE_NNP the child could escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec after being spawned, so the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user namespace. With CLONE_NNP the child can never gain new privileges so unprivileged usage is allowed. This is a deliberate departure from the pdeath_signal model which is reset during secureexec and commit_creds() rendering it useless for container runtimes that need to deprivilege themselves.

This is a per-process property in contrast to the existing auto-reap mechanism via SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD which applies to all children of a given parent. Currently the only way to automatically reap children is to set SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD. This is a parent-scoped property affecting all children which makes it unsuitable for libraries or applications that need selective auto-reaping of specific children while still being able to wait() on others. CLONE_AUTOREAP stores an autoreap flag in the child's signal_struct. When the child exits do_notify_parent() checks this flag and causes exit_notify() to transition the task directly to EXIT_DEAD. Since the flag lives on the child it survives reparenting: if the original parent exits and the child is reparented to a subreaper or init the child still auto-reaps when it eventually exits. CLONE_AUTOREAP can be combined with CLONE_PIDFD to allow the parent to monitor the child's exit via poll() and retrieve exit status via PIDFD_GET_INFO. Without CLONE_PIDFD it provides a fire-and-forget pattern where the parent simply doesn't care about the child's exit status. No exit signal is delivered so exit_signal must be zero. CLONE_AUTOREAP is rejected in combination with CLONE_PARENT. If a CLONE_AUTOREAP child were to clone(CLONE_PARENT) the new grandchild would inherit exit_signal == 0 from the autoreap parent's group leader but without signal->autoreap. This grandchild would become a zombie that never sends a signal and is never autoreaped - confusing and arguably broken behavior. The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children. Each child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created with CLONE_AUTOREAP.

2026-03-11hrtimer: Less agressive interrupt 'hang' handlingPeter Zijlstra1-2/+3
When the hrtimer_interrupt needs to restart more than 3 times and still has expired timers, the interrupt is considered hung. To give the system a little time to recover, the hardware timer is programmed a little into the future. Prior to commit 288924384856 ("hrtimer: Re-arrange hrtimer_interrupt()"), this was relative to the amount of time spend serving the interrupt with a max of 100 msec. However, in order to simplify, and because this condition 'should' not happen, the timeout was unconditionally set to 100 msec. 'Obviously' there is a benchmark that hits this hard, by programming a ton of very short timers :-/ Since reprogramming is decoupled from the interrupt handling, the actual execution time is lost, however the code does track max_hang_time. Using that, rather than the 100 ms max restores performance. stress-ng --timeout 60 --times --verify --metrics --no-rand-seed --timermix 64 bogo ops/s 288924384856^1: 23715979.93 288924384856: 11550049.77 patched: 23361116.78 Additionally, Thomas noted that cpu_base->hang_detected should not be cleared until the next interrupt, such that __hrtimer_reprogram() won't undo the extra delay.

2026-03-11sched/mmcid: Avoid full tasklist walksThomas Gleixner2-42/+13
Chasing vfork()'ed tasks on a CID ownership mode switch requires a full task list walk, which is obviously expensive on large systems. Avoid that by keeping a list of tasks using a mm MMCID entity in mm::mm_cid and walk this list instead. This removes the proven to be flaky counting logic and avoids a full task list walk in the case of vfork()'ed tasks.

2026-03-11sched/mmcid: Handle vfork()/CLONE_VM correctlyThomas Gleixner1-4/+1
Matthieu and Jiri reported stalls where a task endlessly loops in mm_get_cid() when scheduling in. It turned out that the logic which handles vfork()'ed tasks is broken. It is invoked when the number of tasks associated to a process is smaller than the number of MMCID users. It then walks the task list to find the vfork()'ed task, but accounts all the already processed tasks as well. If that double processing brings the number of to be handled tasks to 0, the walk stops and the vfork()'ed task's CID is not fixed up. As a consequence a subsequent schedule in fails to acquire a (transitional) CID and the machine stalls. Cure this by removing the accounting condition and make the fixup always walk the full task list if it could not find the exact number of users in the process' thread list.

2026-03-11sched/mmcid: Prevent CID stalls due to concurrent forksThomas Gleixner2-9/+15
A newly forked task is accounted as MMCID user before the task is visible in the process' thread list and the global task list. This creates the following problem: CPU1 CPU2 fork() sched_mm_cid_fork(tnew1) tnew1->mm.mm_cid_users++; tnew1->mm_cid.cid = getcid() -> preemption fork() sched_mm_cid_fork(tnew2) tnew2->mm.mm_cid_users++; // Reaches the per CPU threshold mm_cid_fixup_tasks_to_cpus() for_each_other(current, p) .... As tnew1 is not visible yet, this fails to fix up the already allocated CID of tnew1. As a consequence a subsequent schedule in might fail to acquire a (transitional) CID and the machine stalls. Move the invocation of sched_mm_cid_fork() after the new task becomes visible in the thread and the task list to prevent this. This also makes it symmetrical vs. exit() where the task is removed as CID user before the task is removed from the thread and task lists.

2026-03-10bpf: Fix constant blinding for PROBE_MEM32 storesSachin Kumar1-0/+21
BPF_ST | BPF_PROBE_MEM32 immediate stores are not handled by bpf_jit_blind_insn(), allowing user-controlled 32-bit immediates to survive unblinded into JIT-compiled native code when bpf_jit_harden >= 1. The root cause is that convert_ctx_accesses() rewrites BPF_ST|BPF_MEM to BPF_ST|BPF_PROBE_MEM32 for arena pointer stores during verification, before bpf_jit_blind_constants() runs during JIT compilation. The blinding switch only matches BPF_ST|BPF_MEM (mode 0x60), not BPF_ST|BPF_PROBE_MEM32 (mode 0xa0). The instruction falls through unblinded. Add BPF_ST|BPF_PROBE_MEM32 cases to bpf_jit_blind_insn() alongside the existing BPF_ST|BPF_MEM cases. The blinding transformation is identical: load the blinded immediate into BPF_REG_AX via mov+xor, then convert the immediate store to a register store (BPF_STX). The rewritten STX instruction must preserve the BPF_PROBE_MEM32 mode so the architecture JIT emits the correct arena addressing (R12-based on x86-64). Cannot use the BPF_STX_MEM() macro here because it hardcodes BPF_MEM mode; construct the instruction directly instead.

2026-03-10bpf: Reset register ID for BPF_END value trackingYazhou Tang1-0/+7
When a register undergoes a BPF_END (byte swap) operation, its scalar value is mutated in-place. If this register previously shared a scalar ID with another register (e.g., after an `r1 = r0` assignment), this tie must be broken. Currently, the verifier misses resetting `dst_reg->id` to 0 for BPF_END. Consequently, if a conditional jump checks the swapped register, the verifier incorrectly propagates the learned bounds to the linked register, leading to false confidence in the linked register's value and potentially allowing out-of-bounds memory accesses. Fix this by explicitly resetting `dst_reg->id` to 0 in the BPF_END case to break the scalar tie, similar to how BPF_NEG handles it via `__mark_reg_known`.

2026-03-10sched_ext: Fix scx_sched_lock / rq lock orderingTejun Heo1-3/+1
There are two sites that nest rq lock inside scx_sched_lock: - scx_bypass() takes scx_sched_lock then rq lock per CPU to propagate per-cpu bypass flags and re-enqueue tasks. - sysrq_handle_sched_ext_dump() takes scx_sched_lock to iterate all scheds, scx_dump_state() then takes rq lock per CPU for dump. And scx_claim_exit() takes scx_sched_lock to propagate exits to descendants. It can be reached from scx_tick(), BPF kfuncs, and many other paths with rq lock already held, creating the reverse ordering: rq lock -> scx_sched_lock vs. scx_sched_lock -> rq lock Fix by flipping scx_bypass() to take rq lock first, and dropping scx_sched_lock from sysrq_handle_sched_ext_dump() as scx_sched_all is already RCU-traversable and scx_dump_lock now prevents dumping a dead sched. This makes the consistent ordering rq lock -> scx_sched_lock.

2026-03-10sched_ext: Always bounce scx_disable() through irq_workTejun Heo2-7/+7
scx_disable() directly called kthread_queue_work() which can acquire worker->lock, pi_lock and rq->__lock. This made scx_disable() unsafe to call while holding locks that conflict with this chain - in particular, scx_claim_exit() calls scx_disable() for each descendant while holding scx_sched_lock, which nests inside rq->__lock in scx_bypass(). The error path (scx_vexit()) was already bouncing through irq_work to avoid this issue. Generalize the pattern to all scx_disable() calls by always going through irq_work. irq_work_queue() is lockless and safe to call from any context, and the actual kthread_queue_work() call happens in the irq_work handler outside any locks.

Add a Resource-managed version of alloc_workqueue() to fix common problem of drivers mixing devm() calls with destroy_workqueue. Such naive and discouraged driver approach leads to difficult to debug bugs when the driver: 1. Allocates workqueue in standard way and destroys it in driver remove() callback, 2. Sets work struct with devm_work_autocancel(), 3. Registers interrupt handler with devm_request_threaded_irq(). Which leads to following unbind/removal path: 1. destroy_workqueue() via driver remove(), Any interrupt coming now would still execute the interrupt handler, which queues work on destroyed workqueue. 2. devm_irq_release(), 3. devm_work_drop() -> cancel_work_sync() on destroyed workqueue. devm_alloc_workqueue() has two benefits: 1. Solves above problem of mix-and-match devres and non-devres code in driver, 2. Simplify any sane drivers which were correctly using alloc_workqueue() + devm_add_action_or_reset().
